I can understand your disappointment. However, implementing this feature
doesn't imply having a large number of icons available. We can just enable
drag'n'drop for items that have an icon. Where we get the icons is a
different matter.
Question: is there any copyright issue if we copy toolbar icons from other
applications? I have seen the same icons (eg. the floppy disk for "Save")
in many toolbars in many different applications.
Did they all pay license fees? Is it possible to copyright a small icon?
(like the ones appearing in toolbars)
